[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 914015, member: 7509"] I strongly agree. This is an issue near and dear to my heart. My MD family practice daughter says she is seeing antibiotic resistance even in children. Basic antibiotics no longer work as they did a few years ago. Requires ever stronger, more exotic and more expensive antibiotics to treat many things that were easily addressed in people a few years ago. People misusing human antibiotics such as not finishing a course of drugs is part of the problem. However there is a strong indication that a low level of "background" antibiotics in almost every animal related food in the mass market is lso a very likely source of resistance build up in humans. Whats the first thing kids order at a fast food place? Chicken strips, nuggets etc as finger food.Low cost industrial raised fast food chicken uses a lot of antibiotics to put it mildly. And I strongly DISAGREE that this is a matter for congress to handle. They can't handle anything these days without it turning into pure politics. This is a health and science issue, not a political issue, regardless of how dear Fox news would like to portray it. Jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
